Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the blood, there are white blood cells that are there to help fight off infections. The higher the number of these white blood cells the better our body will be at fighting off infections in the body. Leukopenia reduces the number of these white blood cells and thus hinders our body when it comes to fighting off infections.
